The Provincial Government of Chekiang has telegraphed assurances that the community of hill-dwellers in Mokanshan are in good shape. Special measures have been taken locally for their protection and the food situation is easy. To enable the British atithorities here to have direct reports on the subject and to be kept in close touch with the situation Mr. H, F. C. Colman of Messrs. Butterfield and Swire is about to proceed to Mokanshan by way of Ningpo and with Mr. Foster Kemp of the Asiatic Petroleum Company will visit Mokanshan to make a report on the conditions prevailing there. It is clear from the information courteously provided by the Provincial Government and from the steps which it has taken to give special protection to Mokanshan that there is no cause for anxiety and the community there is able fully to enjoy the beneficent respite front Shanghai heat afforded by that delightful hill eyrie.
